738 HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN. If Si, ii' I CHAP. LXVIII. s Algernon Sidney’s Letters, p. 90. I J counties ; and with great celerity marched in quest of the rebels. They had taken post near Bothwell-castle, between Hamilton and [A. D. 1679.—Chap. LXVIII. to pretend, in all public speeches and transactions, an en tire belief and acquiescence in that famous absurditv, and by this artifice he had eluded the violent and irresistible torrent of the people. When a little time and recollection, as well as the execution of the pretended conspirators, had somewhat moderated the general fury, he was now enabled to form a considerable party, s,ate of part '“' devoted to the interests of the crowq, and determined to oppose the pretensions of the malcontents. In every mixed government, such as that of England, the bulk of the nation will always incline to preserve the entire frame of the constitution ; but according to the various prejudices, interests, and dispositions of men, some will ever attach themselves with more passion to the regal, others to the popular, part of the government. Though the king, after his restoration, had endeavoured to abolish the distinction of parties, and had chosen the ministers from among all denominations; no sooner had he lost his popularity, and exposed himself to general jealousy, than he found it necessary to court the old cavalier party, and to promise them full compensation for that neglect of which they had hitherto complained. The pre sent emergence made it still more necessary for him to apply for their support; and there were many circum stances which determined them, at this time, to fly to the assistance of the crown, and to the protection of the royal family. A party, strongly attached to monarchy, will naturally be jealous of the right of succession, by which alone they believe stability to be preserved in the government, and a barrier fixed against the encroachments of popular assem blies. The project openly embraced, of excluding the duke, appeared to that party a dangerous innovation : and the design, secretly projected, of advancing Monmouth, made them apprehensive lest the inconveniences of a dis puted succession should be propagated to all posterity. While the jealous lovers of liberty maintained, that a king, whose title depended on the parliament, would naturally be more attentive to the interests, at least to the humours, of the people; the passionate admirers of monarchy con sidered all dependence as a degradation of kingly govern ment, and a great step towards the establishment of a commonwealth in England. But though his union with the political royalists brought great accession of force to the king, he derived no less support from the confederacy, which he had, at this time, the address to form with the church of England. He represented to the ecclesiastics the great number of presby- terians and other sectaries, who had entered into the popu lar party; the encouragement and favour which they met with ; the loudness of their cries with regard to popery and arbitrary power. And he made the established clergy and their adherents apprehend, that the old scheme of the abolition of prelacy as well as monarchy was revived, and that the same miseries and oppressions awaited them, to which, during the civil wars and usurpations, they had so long been exposed. The memory also of those dismal times united many indifferent and impartial persons to the crown, and begat a dread lest the zeal for liberty should engraft itself on fanaticism, and should once more kindle a civil war in the kingdom. Had not the king still retained the prerogative of dissolving the parliament, there was, indeed, reason to apprehend the renewal of all the pretensions and violences which had ushered in the last commotions. The one period appeared an exact counterpart to the other: but still dis cerning judges could perceive, both in the spirit of the parties and in the genius of the prince, a material differ ence; by means of which Charles was enabled, at last, though with the imminent peril of liberty, to preserve the peace of the nation. The cry against popery was loud ; but it proceeded less from religious than from party zeal, in those who propa gated, and even in those who adopted it. The spirit of enthusiasm had occasioned so much mischief, and had been so successfully exploded, that it was not possible, by any artifice, again to revive and support it. Cant had been ridiculed, hypocrisy detected; the pretensions to a more State of parties.—State of the ministry.—3Teal-tub plot.—Whiz and Tory. —A new parliament.—Violence of the Commons.—Exclusion bill.— -Arguments for and against the exclusion.—Exclusion bill rejected.— Trial of Stafford.- His execution.—Violence of the Commons.—Disso lution of the parliament.—New parliament at Oxford.—Fitz Harris's case.—Parliament dissolved.—Victory of the royalists. A. D.16'9 ^’ HE ^* n -> observing that the whole nation 1 ' concurred at first in the belief and prosecution of the popish plot, had found it necessary for his own safety How accidental soever this insurrection might appear, there is reason to suspect that some great men, in combi nation with the popular leaders in England, had secretly instigated the covenanters to proceed to such extremities, 8 and hoped for the same effects that had forlv years before ensued from the disorders in Scotland. The king also, apprehensive of like consequences, immediately despatched thither Monmouth with a small body of English cavalry. That nobleman joined to these troops the Scottish guards, and some regiments of militia levied from the well-affected Battle of Bothwell- bridge. Glasgow; where there was no access to them but over a bridge, which a small body was able to defend against the king’s forces. They showed judgment in the choice of their post; but discovered neither judgment nor valour in any other step of their conduct. No nobility, and few gentry, had joined them : the clergy were in reality the generals; and the whole army never exceeded 8000 men. 22d June Monmouth attacked the bridge ; and the une ‘ body of rebels who defended it, maintained their post as long as their ammunition lasted. When they sent for more, they received orders to quit their ground, and to retire backwards. This imprudent mea sure occasioned an immediate defeat to the covenanters. Monmouth passed the bridge without opposition, and drew up his forces opposite to the enemy. His cannon alone put them to rout. About 700 fell in the pursuit; for properly speaking there was no action. Twelve hundred were taken prisoners ; and were treated by Monmouth with a humanity which they had never experienced in their own countrymen. Such of them as would promise to live peaceably were dismissed. About three hundred, who were so obstinate as to refuse this easy condition, were shipped for Barbadoes; but unfortunately perished in the voyage. Two of their clergy were hanged. Alon mouth was of a generous disposition ; and besides aimed at popu larity in Scotland. The king intended to intrust the government of that kingdom in his bands. He had married a Scottish lady, heir of a great family, and allied to all the chief nobility. And Lauderdale, as he was now declining in his parts, and was much decayed in his memory, began to lose with the king that influence which he had main tained during so many years; notwithstanding the efforts of his numerous enemies both in Scotland and England, and notwithstanding the many violent and tyrannical actions of which he had been guilty. Even at present he retained sc much influence as to poison all the good in tentions, which the king, either of himself, or by Mon mouth’s suggestion, had formed with regard to Scotland. An act of indemnity was granted ; but Lauderdale took care that it should be so worded as rather to afford pro tection to himself and his associates, than to the unhappy covenanters. And though orders were given to connive thenceforwards at all conventicles, he found means, under a variety of pretences, to elude the execution of them. It must be owned, however, to his praise, that he was the chief person, who, by his counsel, occasioned the expedi tious march of the forces and the prompt orders given to Monmouth ; and thereby disappointed all the expectations of the English malcontents, who, reflecting on the disposi tion of men’s minds in both kingdoms, had entertained great hopes from the progress of the Scottish insurrection.
